Vines & Wines Wine Trail
Along the south shore of Lake Erie, through the valley created by the mighty Grand River, atop the ridges carved by ancient glaciers and in tiny microclimates nearby, northeast Ohio boasts more wineries per square mile than in any other region. The tiny parcel of land also is home to well over half of the winegrape acreage in the state.
As the cool winds blowing over the icy lake slow growth of tender buds in the spring and the gentle warm breezes extend the summer season into fall, and the valleys collect cold frosty spring air, winegrowing families of the area celebrate their ability to grow some of the finest grapes anywhere in the nation. Hundreds of acres of rolling, lush vineyards, award-winning wines like Pinot Gris, Riesling, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Cabernet Franc, easy to enjoy Chambourcin and Vidal Blanc as well as local favorites made from native varieties draw tens of thousands of visitors each year for touring and sampling.
Plan a long weekend - or better yet a couple of getaway excursions to explore some of the country's best preserved covered bridges, resort communities, antique shops, fine dining and family-friendly eateries, unique museums, dozens of beds and breakfasts - and the sparkling lake itself - are all compliments to the region's star attraction: the wines and the vines of northeast Ohio.
Join us on the Wines and Vines Trail and discover for yourself all there is to taste, experience and enjoy.
Click on the logo of your favorite winery and discover where their wines are available for pick up, delivery or on a retail shelf.
